Abstract
I want to expand on this important point, since those who do not perceive the boundary between what is understood and what is not are often lured by pseudo-logic arguments: a game A implies a result B, which looks like something observed, and one postulates that nature plays game A. Besides showing a total ignorance of the scientific method in general and logic in particular, it shows a curious lack of imagination.2 It reminds me of others, who put in their hypotheses what is observed, and are quite naive then to be enthusiastic about the efficiency of their game to predict observations!
